Our big chance to avenge the home loss earlier this season, and take advantage of Forest getting crushed by City to escape the relegation zone! COYI

    Fulham have won three in a row, beating Spurs and Sunderland in the League and Stoke in the Cup. We drew 1-1 on our last visit to Craven Cottage and got thumped 5-0 the season before

    There are a few injuries, record signing LW Kevin needs surgery, Sasa Lukic has been out since mid-January but could be back, Joachim Andersen missed the Spurs match with a virus and Harry Wilson had to go off in the 2nd half with a twisted ankle

    Against Spurs Andersen and Kevin's starting places were taken by Issa Diop and Oscar Bobb (signed from City for £27m in January) while Wilson was replaced by Samuel Chukwueze (on loan from AC Milan) who is just back after two weeks off with a calf problem

    If Wilson isn't fit another possible option would be moving Alex Iwobi from central midfield to right wing with Tom Cairney. Harrison Reed or Josh King coming into the starting line up

    Another draw would be nice...

    A draw against Fulham is not enough to take us above Forest. A win would be better.
  • stevesteve
    Really need 3 points here
  • alderzalderz
    If you take the game in isolation, a point would be great. But given our circumstances, we really need to be winning some games where a point would typically be 'good'.
  • LukerzLukerz
    If we win this, I may actually believe we can stay up. I think as soon as you get out of the bottom three, the landscape changes.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    I think some underestimate Fulham, at home in the league they have won 8, drawn two and lost four. This is not going to be an easy game
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    Definitely not easy, as none are, but one we really need to win in light of less easy fixtures arriving again soon in City and Villa.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    We have the same current form as Villa, 2-2-2, which makes Fulham, 3-0-3, tougher.
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt
    Fulham played IMO well albeit against a poor Spurs on Sunday, but them being at home we need to be up for it....Diop played very well for them....

    I’m not thinking it will be easy, and I think a win is unlikely, but I also think that a point. Isn’t a great result
  • LukerzLukerz
    We can’t keep losing or drawing, we’ll go down

    You can make a case for anybody beating us, technically only Wolves & Burnley are worse than us

    We have to win at some point

    That’s fighting talk 😊
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    Fulham should have had the game secured long before Spurs got their goal back but it shows that they are vulnerable - I think we have the form and quality to make a real game of this one so long as we approach it with the correct mindset.

    Andersen fit, Lukic “working hard” to be fit, Wilson to be “assessed” tomorrow

    Wilson will be a big miss if he’s not there, top for goals and assists

    Fingers crossed

    "West Ham owners tell Nuno “every game is a must-win”

    I think they may have realised a point per game isn't going to save us?
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    If you read the article (after wading through a load of pointless waffle) right at the end you'll find the owners haven't actually said anything at all.

    “Fulham is a huge game for us,” the top spokesman for West Ham’s board exclusively told Hammers News. “They are all must win games now.”

    No mention of who "the top spokesman" is so no way of telling if this is reliable

    Hammers News is a total waste of time

    Huge, huge, huge game for us tonight, if we win I might start to believe, rather than just hope, that we can stay up. A win could leave us:
    1) Above Forest and, crucially, out of the bottom 3
    2) Only a point behind Spurs
    3) Only 3 points behind Leeds, so effectively level with them if we can beat them on the last day of the season.

    Huge game (did I mention that?).

    Harry Wilson not in the Fulham team ,And 4 changes from there game against Spurs ,Also they played on Sunday so we have exter 24 hours
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    I think Mavropanos could be feeling a bit hard done by.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    But, y'know, the gaffer sees them in training and plans the tactics, so I'll shut up.

    Possibly, although perhaps Nuno just felt he needed a rest....? COYI......

    Hope Bowen has a good game and a goal would be nice
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Wilson missing for them is a definite plus.

    My commentator has just said the ref is basically a Championship ref, so we're bound to get done over by him.
